I thought the service was excellent for helping my child prepare for the ACT and improving her college essay. It was very helpful to work with someone who knew the college deadlines and kept us on point. We started working with Lifelauncher the second semester of my child's junior year, but I think it would have been beneficial to begin earlier so that our college coach would have had more time to get to know my child. As we weren't knowledgeable about the different types of schools for an arts major there was some miscommunication about what we were looking for and what locations. Also, it would be good to email a summary of what was discussed in the monthly meetings to all parties and assign due dates of tasks.
